A further purpose of the invention is to At the inlet end of the body B a shield lil 30 provide a spraying' device for theI purpose is formed, which isg'iven an upward and for- SO mentioned which will be simple, durable, and ward inclination, said shield extending' from economic in construction and to which a forcethe bottom of the body l and from the side pump of any description may be applied, if portions thereof adjacent to the body.

Ylhe invention consists in the novel con- 'lhis extension 1l is conical in shape, being' struction and combination ofthe several parts, contracted at its lower end, as is shown by 1,0 as will be hereinafter fully forth, and Figs. 2 and 3, and in producing' this tubular 9o s pointed out in the claims. extension let opposing side walls of the said l'teference is to he had to the accompanying' extension are continued up into the body l) drawings, forming' a part of this specification, toa certain extent or to a point almost to in which similarcharacters of reference indithe top of the body, as is shown in Fig'. 2, 45 Cate corresponding' parts in all the lig'ures. producing' thereby side chambers which may 95 ft i" Figure l is a perspective view of the imbe designated as .15, togetherwiththe monthproved device. Fig'. '2 is a vertical section guard t3, etfectually preventing' any liquid through the upper portion of the device, talien passing' back lo the month of the person opl at the central portion thereof; and Fig'. 3 is i erating' the device, as the g'uard 13 positively 50 likewise a vertical central section taken at l protects the lower portion or lower lip of the TOO mouth, while the chambers 15 serve to conduct any overow of liquid down through the tubular .extension 14 into the receptacle A.

In connection with the body B of the sprayer and the receptacle A a supply-tube C is employed. rlhis supply-tube is of much less diameter than the diameter at the bottom of the extension 14, as is shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and the said tube C passes up through the extension 14 of the body B of the spraying device to practically a level with the bottom of the said body B and is carried as near as possible to the straight delivery end 12 of the said body, as is shown at Fig. 2, the lower end of the supply-tube being carried as close as possible to the bottom of the receptacle A. The supply-tube C is mounted to move from side to side or to take any lateral position necessary under the influence of the air introduced into the body B, and such action is automatic.

It will be understood that the supply-tube C passes down into the receptacle A as far as may be desiredAas, for example, the lower end of the supply-tube C terminates as near as possible to the bottom of the receptacle A.

I desire it to be understood that while the device may be safely used by a person blowing into the body B, the air may be introduced into the said body by a force-pump of any suitable description.

It is evident from the description and the drawings that when air is introduced into the larger or rear end of the body B the liquid will be drawn up from the receptacle A by suction and pressure of air on top of the liquid and at the same time will be forced out through the delivery end of the supply-tube C and in more or less of a spray form through the nozzle 12 of the body B. The liquid under such conditions gently strikes the walls of a wound in the form of a spray and does not startle the animal as when delivered in force and in bulk-as, for example, when an ordinary syringe is employed.

rlhe very large opening' around the supplytube C admits of a great pressure of air on the surface of the oil in the receptacle A, and this pressure, particularly in connection with the suction which may be induced, enables the operator to throw a spray of even exceedingly heavy oil a great distance through the medium of the breath of the operator or a suitable pump.

I desire it to beunderstood that while l have described the extension 14 of the body of the spraying device as polygonal it may be round or so shaped in cross-section that it can be fitted to the mouth of any ordinary vessel.

Having thus described my in vention, l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A spraying device for the wounds of animals, comprising a receptacle, a conical spraying-bod y mounted on the receptacle and having a conical extension projecting within the receptacle, and a supply-tube extending from within the receptacle into the body to the contracted end thereof, said supply-tube being movable in said body.

2. A spraying device for the wounds of animals, comprising a receptacle, a conical spraying-body mounted on the receptacle and having' a straight delivery end portion, a conical projection within the receptacle, and a supply-tube vextending from within the receptacle into the body to a point closely adjacent to the straight delivery portion of the body, as described.

3. In a device for spraying the wounds of animals, a receptacle, a sprayer comprisinga body, an extension ,from the body and a supply-tube, the said body being of conical shape, having its contracted end in straight form, the extension from the body being also of conical shape and contracted at the bottom, the said body having opposing side recesses therein connectingwith the said portions of the body andleading into the extension from the body, the said supply-tube beingI passed loosely through the extension from the body and through the body to its straight delivery end, the supply-tube being also removably placed in the body.

1n testimony whereofl l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
